Looking at the temperatures right now, low to mid 80s along the east coast because of that northeast to east wind. The west coast stays in the upper 70s. This is very yesterday. Finished the same way as well with the rain chances running for the most part at 40 for later this afternoon. The morning youll be quiet and then start to see the storms develop along the east coast and work back toward the west coast. Best rain chances today will be down a little bit further toward the south and into south florida. This is what were watching. This is the Dominican Republic. This is haiti. This is puerto rico. You try to find the center of that. Airplanes as they fly around. They cant find a low level center so by definition alone, this cant be a tropical system. However, theyve had winds gusting 50, 55 miles an hour so once this achieves a low level center, and it may not happen today. Not with the interaction with hispanola. It may happen tomorrow, may happen on saturday. I think this will become a Tropical Storm as it drifts back toward our state. Heres a better view, just a lot of this is a huge, huge rainmaker and while our focus is always about, okay, hurricane, winds, this and that, i want you to understand that this storm could easily not develop and all of this moisture just comes straight through the state and we get flooding still, okay . I just want you to know it doesnt need to have a name. You dont have to have massive winds to cause problems with flooding and thats what i think well be looking at next week if pan out. They want to dump tons of rain on top of us. Computer models, the one thing theyre starting to agree more upon is the track of this mess toward the westnorthwest, through the bahamas, up through south florida, maybe along the eastern gulf or perhaps the west coast of our state. What theyre completely disagreeing on is what form it will be when it some models more aggressive. They want to make it a Tropical Storm. Others, like this, the gfs model, they just dont develop it at all. They take this big broad area of low pressure in the mid levels and all of this moisture and they just throw it up through the state early next week. Monday, tuesday into wednesday and i know what youre thinking. Thats good. Its not going to develop. But that could still bring us several inches of rain which in models that take the same path but they develop it a little bit more. They make it a Tropical Storm as it heads up the west coast. So we still have plenty of time to watch it. Were talking about tuesday and its thursday right now. So things will change but in the shortterm, i just think youre going to see the disorganized area of low pressure just slowly, slowly start to work i in the back of your mind, i want you to think early next week, the potential for a lot of rain and well work on that wind forecast as it gets a little bit closer. Okay . 92 degrees for a high today with the rain chance of about 40 . Warm, steamy tonight, low 78 and then tomorrow, 92 degrees once again with those afternoon storms coming through the area. Coming up in the next half hour, when im talking about heavy rain, im going to show you what out for rainfall between now and next wednesday to give you an idea what my primary concern right now is rain.
